There are times when I agree with Pat Buchanan, but not this time. He keeps saying "no Arab nations will recognize Israel's borders" if they build the wall, but of course no Arab nations will ever recognize the existance of Israel

Key point right there. Besides, to be entirely consistent as a paleoconservative with a traditionalist foreign policy (which I wholeheartedly subscribe to), he should be advocating "no role" for the U.S. in the middle east with Israel or the Arab states.

I think if left alone, Israel could not only take care of themselves but would clean house if need be. Arab countries would be put on notice that no longer will America be tying Israel's hands when it comes to dealing with terrorism or existential threats.

America has done more harm than good concerning Israel as of late. If it weren't for our pressure, Israel would have never surrendered any of her land.

IMHO, the role I would have the US play is to say to Israel "we support you" and let them figure it out. And to Hamas, "we do not support you".

I am not in favor of the US trying to micromanage Israeli affairs, or to force compliance with some "road map". That map leads to a bad place.

My sentiments are not fair and balanced; I am a Zionist. I would no sooner give Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians than to give Aztlan to the Mexicans.
